I was working as a stockboy in a supermarket and when we had to fill the milk cooler people would bust open a 12 pack of milk cartons and put them in one by one.
On my first day I just placed the 12 pack in the cooler and cut the plastic off on one side with my box cutter and yanked it from under it and the look of the store manager and the other employee who was training me was pure bewilderment.
From that day everyone did it my way.
IT in general as well. I’m a sysadmin, and half of my job some days is to script/automate simple and annoying tasks to free up a tech to do something more complicated/harder to automate.
I’m also the sort who has spent hours figuring out how to automate a couple clicks in the UI because I’m sick of doing repetitive bs clicking all the time lol
